Collecting Art Nouveau Glass - Daum Insect Vase

Art Nouveau Glass was a natural medium for art nouveau artists to use and the style of decoration was popular in the 1890's and 1900's. The style lasting until the first world war in Europe in 1914. It uses free flowing motifs based on nature.

Geofrey Warren captured the essence of Art Nouveau with the words:

"Think of a sensuous line: of a flowing line: a line which bends and turns back on itself. Think of the feminine form, rounded and curving. Think of plant forms growing and burgeoning. Think of flowers in bud, in over-blown blossom, as seed pods. Think of ....waves, think of women's hair, think of twisting smoke."

Collecting Art Nouveau Glass - Tiffany floriform vaseArt Nouveau glass was made by many great artists, including Emile Galle, Louis C. Tiffany, the Daum brothers at Daum Nancy, Muller Freres, Loetz, and the Powells at Whitefriars and many others.

In Germany the style is called Jugenstil and in Italy Floreal or Liberty. In Austria it is called Secessionstil and in France it was often called Modern Style.

The name Art Nouveau is derived from a Paris gallery called 'Maison de L'Art Nouveau', which played a major role in displaying and popularising the style.

Art Nouveau was in part a reaction to the Victorian passion for imitating earlier styles like Classical and Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo.

Imitations of works of art from the past seemed to give the Victorians a sense of security and confidence in their own affluence.

Art Nouveau was something fresh, entirely new, and a break-away from the old traditions. It was also in part a reaction to the perceived ugliness and despair of the machine age; art nouveau was a blaze of invention, fantasy and audacity.
